THE INNER FIRE

As we're approaching the end of the year, it's always good to reflect on what you have achieved. Are you any closer to the physique you want? Do you have the freedom to spend more time with your family? Do you have the energy to do the active things with your family? When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you like what you see? Or are you still sucking that stomach in? When you set your goals for 2017, will they be any different to the ones you set for 2016 or have to seen the progression you

It seems that wherever you look, whether it's the Internet, your local supermarket or on TV, there's someone raving on about a particular food and how it's essential as it's a 'Super Food'. Whenever this term is banded around, it's usually a long list of benefits are regurgitated, how it's packed with all sorts of special powers to help you get leaner faster, stronger quicker and will bullet-proof your heart! Just by eating this food you'll add weeks, months, even years to your life!! Then, you may be presented with 3 or 4 'recipes' or ideas that allow you to

It's amazing how life can take up more than you think it does and the things you've always thought were reality, in actual fact, aren't. Below is a statement about how life is for the daughter of a busy man, one just like you. "Just one of the many adventures we’ve had together was when I was about eight or nine, [when] my daddy took me to a monster truck show. It was awesome! We got lots of cotton candy and toy souvenirs …. It has been about five years and I’ve noticed my dad and I doing less and

There's some bizarre experiments carried out in the name of research. Being a bit of a nutritional geek, I often receive updates from published articled and recently one caught my eye. Not because of the ground breaking information it delivered ( pretty much ministry of the fcuking obvious if you ask me!) But because of the side story that accompanied it. A researcher removed part of a rats brain (a section of the hypothalamus) that controlled the desire to consume food and fluids. As expected, the rats didn't bother eating or drinking and died of starvation and dehydration. ( No

Our body is a walking pharmaceutical laboratory. All manner of hormones are being produced, broken down and recycled, on pretty much a second-by-second basis! If you're a geek like me and you've ever studied human biochemistry, you'll be familiar with many different hormones and their interactions within the body. There's the typical ones everyone has heard of, such as insulin, testosterone, estrogen and adrenaline. You may of even heard of HCG, progesterone epinephrine too. But I want to focus on cortisol, and how it may be stopping you from getting the body you want. You see, there's 2 reasons why

Every year it seems that Xmas starts earlier and earlier. I was in a well known supermarket a couple of weeks ago and they had already started stocking Xmas-themed foods and products. The beginning of October! As far as im concerned Xmas doesn't start until that glitter covered train appears on the TV and I hear "Holidays Are Coming..." You know I'm right! Now, I know you guys are busy, lots of hours spent in the office doing something 'important'. Well, I assume it must be as you choose to do that over going home to spend time with your

So apparently it's around that time of the year when many wealthy families from the warmer climates of the middle east flock to London, bringing with them some of the most expensive and highly sought after cars in the world. The areas around Knightsbridge are flooded with Bugattis, Ferraris, Lambourginis and the like. Cars that would cost more than some people earn in a lifetime. When you come from a wealthy oil-rich country, dropping a few £1000k on a car is probably not as big a deal as it would be to some people. After all, wealth and expenditure is

Another Monday, another Day 1 for men around the world that want to transform into a better version of themselves. This is the 41st 'Day 1' of the year! Take a good look in the mirror. Go ahead, long, hard look. Look at yourself! What do you see? Is it the man that you envisioned yourself to be at the start of 2016? When you sat down to plan your goals for 2016, is there where you saw yourself? Are you where you want to be? Are you even close to where you want to be? What you see before

There was a time in my past when protecting my own personal energy, confidence and to some extent health was not the priority it is now. I'm going to tell you a story about when me and a friend of mine found ourselves in a local strip club, ready to party! Back then, I would've felt like a serious 'playa' 'Big Time Charlie' & that all my actions made me great, when the reality is, I was the exact opposite. On this particular occasion, both me and a friend have a booth, enjoying the company of a couple of the

On Saturday I was travelling home and instead of my usual thing of listening to an audio book, I instead hit shuffle on my music. Now, I have a rather varied, eclectic taste in music, from classical to acoustic folk, to thrash metal from deep, tech house and RnB. So it was no surprise when Justin Timberlake followed a classical piece from Ludo Einaudi that was preceded by acoustic folk from Nick Harper. The thing is, the JT track was from his 1st album, Justified and it evoked so many memories, as music has a tendency to do. Back in 2002-2003 when that album came out, I was fresh
